No, it should be created correctly with owner uucp, although you need
to run faxaddmodem as "root".

This should be 755, at a minimum, in order to be able to "cd" to
that directory. It's generally not a good idea to mess with
the default permissions ont he HylaFAX files.

What OS and shell are you using? I've had difficulties when
I typed in something foolish for a faxaddmodem value and
the shell script for faxaddmodem broke...
